And in the end... by Mat Snow(from Mojo #179, p.70)Mojo have heard some of the long-awaited Beatles remasters, three years (and counting) in the works. But they're nearly ready! I've never paid money for anything by the Beatles, so now (and by "now" I mean "when these are released") may be the time.

Born Again by Mark Blake(from Mojo #179, p.82-95)Long feature, marking the release of Queen's new album, that features remaining band members Brian May and Roger Taylor looking back at the group's late-'70s disco-influenced reinvention.

The Caped Cuss-Ader by Dareh Gregorian and Rebecca Rosenberg(from New York Post)First heard this story the other day, but this pun-packed title was too good not to mention. For those who missed it, DC Comics released issue 10 of All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder (it's a title and a half, ain't it?) with swear words uncensored. And this is America, of course, where "damn" is controversial. They've tried to have all copies destroyed (to be replaced with an appropriately censored version), but naturally not everyone's complied -- copies are going for as much as $250 on eBay. Holy instant collector's item Batman! (Sorry.)

Che It Isn't So by Page Six(from New York Post)This blog seems to have wound up following the story of Steven Soderbergh's Che -- I'm not entirely sure how, or why, but there you go. As I've already reported, the film will see a limited cinema release later this year; but the latest addition to that development goes thusly: it's "going almost straight to video. Soderbergh refused to cut the 4-hour-and-22-minute biopic... Given that the audience at the Cannes Film Festival was underwhelmed, no one wanted to give the epic a theatrical release. [But IFC] will release it in theaters in New York and LA just long enough to qualify for the Academy Awards, and make it available simultaneously "on demand." Che will later be available on video at Blockbuster." Just at Blockbuster? Or is that just One Of Those Turns Of Phrase. Also, the persistence of the term "video" -- of course, it technically doesn't just mean VHS, but that's still what comes to mind.
